    Rebecca Farden Information Technology 101 Term Paper Use of Robotics in the US Military The US military uses some of the most advanced technologies known to man, one main segment being robotics. As this growing field of research is being developed, militaries around the world are beginning to use technologies that may change the way wars are fought. The trend we are currently seeing is an increase in unmanned weaponry, and decrease in actual human involvement in combat. Spending on research in this area is growing drastically and it is expected to continue. Thus far, robotics have been viewed as a positive development in their militaristic function, but as this field advances, growing concerns about their use and implications are arising. Currently, robotics in the military are used in a variety of ways, and new developments are constantly surfacing. For example, the military uses pilotless planes to do surveillance, and unmanned aerial attacks called “drone” strikes (Hodge). These attacks have been frequently used in Iraq in Pakistan in the past several years. Robotics have already proved to be very useful in other roles as well. Deputy commanding general of the Army Maneuver Support Center Rebecca Johnson said “robots are useful for chemical detection and destruction; mine clearing, military police applications and intelligence” (Farrell). Robots that are controlled by soldiers allow for human control without risking a human life. BomBots are robots that are have been used in the middle east to detonate IEDs (improvised explosive devices), keeping soldiers out of this very dangerous situation (Atwater). These uses of robots have been significant advances in the way warfare is carried out, but we are only scratching the surface of the possibilities of robotics in military operations.

Broyles Special Activities and Innovation Operations Evaluation Group Copyright © 2017 CNA Abstract The military is on the cusp of a major technological revolution, in which warfare is conducted by unmanned and increasingly autonomous weapon systems. However, unlike the last “sea change,” during the Cold War, when advanced technologies were developed primarily by the Department of Defense (DoD), the key technology enablers today are being developed mostly in the commercial world. This study looks at the state-of-the-art of AI, machine-learning, and robot technologies, and their potential future military implications for autonomous (and semi-autonomous) weapon systems. While no one can predict how AI will evolve or predict its impact on the development of military autonomous systems, it is possible to anticipate many of the conceptual, technical, and operational challenges that DoD will face as it increasingly turns to AI-based technologies.

  • Responsibility Practices in Robotic Warfare Deborah G
    Responsibility Practices in Robotic Warfare Deborah G. Johnson, Ph.D., and Merel E. Noorman, Ph.D. NMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVs), also known as drones, are commonplace in U.S. military operations. Many predict increased military use of more sophisti- Ucated and more autonomous robots.1 Increased use of robots has the potential to transform how those directly involved in warfare, as well as the public, perceive and experience war. Military robots allow operators and commanders to be miles away from the battle, engag- ing in conflicts virtually through computer screens and controls. Video cameras and sen- sors operated by robots provide technologically mediated renderings of what is happening on the ground, affecting the actions and attitudes of all involved. Central to the ethical concerns raised by robotic warfare, especially the use of autonomous military robots, are issues of responsibility and accountability. Who will be responsible when robots decide for themselves and behave in unpredictable ways or in ways that their human partners do not understand? For example, who will be responsible if an autonomously operating unmanned aircraft crosses a border without authorization or erroneously identifies a friendly aircraft as a target and shoots it down?2 Will a day come when robots themselves are considered responsible for their actions?3 Deborah G. Johnson is the Anne Shirley Carter Olsson Professor of Applied Ethics in the Science, Technology, and Society Program at the University of Virginia. She holds a Ph.D., M.A., and M.Phil. from the University of Kansas and a B.Ph. from Wayne State University. The author/editor of seven books, she writes and teaches about the ethical issues in science and engineering, especially those involving computers and information technology.

  • The Arms Industry and Increasingly Autonomous Weapons
    Slippery Slope The arms industry and increasingly autonomous weapons www.paxforpeace.nl Reprogramming War This report is part of a PAX research project on the development of lethal autonomous weapons. These weapons, which would be able to kill people without any direct human involvement, are highly controversial. Many experts warn that they would violate fundamental legal and ethical principles and would be a destabilising threat to international peace and security. In a series of four reports, PAX analyses the actors that could potentially be involved in the development of these weapons. Each report looks at a different group of actors, namely states, the tech sector, the arms industry, and universities and research institutes. The present report focuses on the arms industry. Its goal is to inform the ongoing debate with facts about current developments within the defence sector. It is the responsibility of companies to be mindful of the potential applications of certain new technologies and the possible negative effects when applied to weapon systems. They must also clearly articulate where they draw the line to ensure that humans keep control over the use of force by weapon systems.

Whether remotely piloted or autonomous, such platforms offer numerous advantages, most notably by sparing human soldiers from performing tedious or dangerous tasks. While useful, significant limitations and controversies prevent unmanned systems from completely replacing humans on the front lines. militaries must consider these challenges when deciding how best to employ unmanned technology in the future.

Remote-controlled UGVs can “draw first fire” from insurgents— reducing military and police casualties. Robots of this type have been successfully deployed in rescue and recovery missions, such as in the efforts following 9/11.

Leading powers, their challengers as well as their non-state combat opponents have begun to design, test, and fi eld numerous unmanned systems. The introduction of such technology is reshaping the way wars are fought and will have profound implications on human combatants, military tactics, and state policies for the near future. The United States and Israel, long leaders in using unmanned systems in their militaries, are now fi nding themselves in a rapidly evolving technology race with nations that have launched unmanned development programs. Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, and a growing number of smaller states are developing various systems in quick succession, aided in no small part by the proliferation of civilian-grade hi- tech, IT, software, optics, and other know-how technologies across the world. In 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the importance of military robots by stating that his country needs its own effective developments ‘of robotized systems for the Russian Armed Forces’.1 This evolution in the use of new technology is upending existing norms and military tactics, generating a lot of questions about the way military competition will unfold in the near future.
